很多信仰有神的卫道份子，总认为atheist=道德沦丧 但是以下数据推翻掉这些批评， 在美国atheist所占的人口数约为0.5%，但监狱内所占的 却不成比例的0.209%。 另外，美国人认为它们是以基督教立国的，这可是神的国度耶! 应该是个路上都是圣人的地方吧? 不过他们的犯罪率却是有目共睹， 相信有神就不会想犯罪? 看来不过是个笑话。 Appendix: 1997 Federal Bureau of Prisons from Denise Golumbaski, as formatted in Rice/Swift Note that in this version, the names of a couple of religious groups remain non-standardized, and self-identified "Atheist" remains separate from "Unknown/None."

※ 发信站: 批踢踢实业坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 59.114.131.9 ※ 编辑: Ensanguine 来自: 59.114.131.9 (09/02 18:08) 经过gred121提供的灵感，去孤狗了一下。 找到一篇写的还不错的报告，http://tinyurl.com/dycnt 他在分类的方式是: 1.I know God really exists and I have no doubt about it = absolutely believe in god 2.2-3 times a month + once a week or more = attend religious services at least several times a month 3.several times a week - several times a day = pray at least several times a week 4.the Bible is the actual word of God and it is to be taken literally, word for word = Bible literalists; 5.human beings developed from earlier species of animals = accept human evolution 6.I don’t know whether there is a God and I don’t believe there is a way to find out + I don’t believe in God = agnostics and other atheists 参与调查的国家为: A = Australia C = Canada D = Denmark E = Great Britain F = France G = Germany H = Holland I = Ireland J = Japan L = Switzerland N = Norway P = Portugal R = Austria S = Spain T = Italy U = United States W = Sweden Z = New Zealand 调查的种类分别为:谋杀率、性病感染率、未婚怀孕率、堕胎率、青少年自杀率等等。 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 以下是撷取自这篇文章一些有趣的结果... 1.文中引用富兰克林所说的话: “religion will be a powerful regulator of our actions, give us peace and tranquility within our minds, and render us benevolent, useful and beneficial to others” (Isaacson: 87-88). 虽然美国算是有神论国家中很繁荣的，但其社会却没在富兰克林预测的和平、安宁。 也揭开美国认为自己是上帝被祝福的"shining city on the hill"的假象。 2.日本是宗教信仰程度最低而科学理论接受程度最高的国家。 3.美国是宗教信仰程度最高而科学理论接受程度最低的国家。 4.美国在这些社会障碍及健康功能指标中，几乎都拔得头筹... 突然觉得有一句话很贴切， 尼采：「一棵树要长得更高，接受更多的光明，那麽它的根就必须更深入黑暗。」 ※ 编辑: Ensanguine 来自: 59.114.133.138 (09/04 16:16) ※ 编辑: Ensanguine 来自: 59.114.133.138 (09/04 16:22)
